### 5/5 — It’s BACK and it’s Breathtaking!

*2026-08-04, version 1.1.19*

I first played this interactive work of art almost nine years ago, but it has been unavailable to me since then. It’s now available once again!!!
Part game, part interactive storytelling. An emotional experience. Gorgeous visuals with an inspiring, thought provoking storyline. 
I don’t think I’ve ever played another game that had me contemplating profound subjects like selflessness and sacrifice.
Rare, gorgeous and inspiring. A unique, moving experience that was worth far more than the small price.
Play this again. You’ll be swept away.

### 5/5 — Beautifully Profound

*2023-11-27*

Part game, part interactive storytelling. An emotional experience. Gorgeous visuals with an inspiring, thought provoking storyline. 
I don’t think I’ve ever had another gaming experience that had me contemplating profound subjects like selflessness and sacrifice.
If only more games were so inspiring. A unique experience that was well worth the small price.

### 1/5 — waste of time

*2022-09-22, version 1.1.2*

can't play dual until pass single mode?

### 5/5 — 素晴らしく愛と絆を感じます

*2020-05-17*

操作は非常に簡単で、「右に進む」か「左に進む」しかありません。

基本的には光をともしながら上に進んでいきましょう。条件が揃うとルーン文字を貰えるのでそれでチャプターが開いていきます。

1人モードをクリアすると2人モードが解放されます。
親子や恋人の想定かなと思いました。

### 3/5 — Beautiful but too short

*2020-01-02, version 1.1.2*

I really liked the experience but the whole game took me barely 20 minutes. That in my opinion is a bit too short for a paid game.

### 5/5 — よくわからないけど、癒し✨

*2019-11-08*

期間限定50％オフとのことなので購入してみました。

正直言って、どういうことをするのが目的なのか、いまいちわからないです。
木に光が灯ったりするから、そうやって遊ぶのかな？と思うのですが、思うように動いてくれないので、途中で操作放棄…(ｰ ｰ;)
セーブもどうなってるのかわからなくて、途中でやめて起動し直すとニューゲームになるので、最初のステージから進んでいません。

本来の遊び方とは違うと思うのですが、BGMも映像も綺麗なので、何も操作せずに光たちが勝手に漂ってるのを眺めるだけで癒されます😊
私は勝手に安眠誘導アプリだと思って満足しています(笑)

### 3/5 — Needs updating…

*2019-10-30, version 1.1.2*

The game needs to be updated for iPhone X/XR/11 size screens with full screen mode support!

### 2/5 — Existential

*2019-02-02, version 1.1.2*

Deftly asks, “Why?”

### 5/5 — Work of art

*2018-11-27, version 1.1.2*

Great, great game. Seamless gameplay, beautiful soundtrack, compelling visuals, thoughtful subject matter. Buy now!!!!!!!!

### 5/5 — Beautiful

*2018-11-07, version 1.1.2*

Just wow. I can’t really put into words the message this game imparted on me. The interaction between the two “beings” says it all without a word being said. One cannot fly without the other, if one falls the other comes back, the interaction between the two was brilliant. Just absolutely breathtaking and beautiful. I cried. That’s all that really needs to be said.
